Having young children at home can be quite the cause for worry. You want them to be safe and healthy, but there are many dangers in your home that you might not think about until you have children that are starting to move around. It is good to try your best to predict any problems that can come up to make sure that you do what you can to prevent injury.

One of the most common reasons for serious injury in the home is falling from an elevated location. If you have a second story, you should be careful about the windows there. A fall out of a window could lead to serious injury or even death for your child, so you should never leave them alone in a room with an open window. You should also try your best to make sure that it would be very difficult for a child to pry a window open and get out.

If you want to have some extra peace of mind, having soft soil and bushes underneath your windows will make it even less likely that a fall will prove fatal.
